Alexandre Normand created AVRO-1268: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Add java-class support for stringable types to SpecificData Key: AVRO-1268 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1268 Project: Avro Issue Type: Improvement Components: java Affects Versions: 1.7.4 Reporter: Alexandre Normand Assignee: Alexandre Normand Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.7.5 Stringable types are java classes that can be serialized through strings (which require a single string constructor and a valid toString() implementation). ReflectData currently has support from stringable types but it would be desirable to get this feature with SpecificData. The work involves changes to the SpecificCompiler (depends on {{@java-class}} support in AVRO-1267) to generate the specific sources with the proper java type as well as moving the ReflectDatumReader and ReflectDatumWriter to read the java-class property. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
